Topic: Star Wars Battlefront II (Read 247 times)

Multiplayer beta out this weekend. Not too bad, but still feels like Battlefield Lite. Full game will include a full single player campaign as well (something the first one didn't have), so I may grab the game anyway. Favorite mode is still Starfighter Assault; there's just something about flying an X-Wing that's irresistible to me.

That's Star Wars Battlefront in a nutshell, though. People keep saying how the new games are nothing like the old games, but they're not really all that different. Nostalgia vs new, nostalgia almost always wins. Still, I wouldn't give LucasArts a red penny on principle. If you went to a restaurant where it's rumored that there's a piece of poop in your food 1/5th of the time, would you really be surprised if you got pooped? Would you pay for it? That's kind of how I feel about LucasArts, people keep complaining about what publishers are putting out and ignoring what people are saying, but they keep paying them for their games that they complain about. The last good Star Wars game was Jedi Academy.

At least Ubisoft is finally on the verge of collapse. Speaking of Ubi, They made a deal to purchase back something like 40% of their shares, in an attempt to go private. Because clearly the issue with Ubisoft is that they are a publicly traded company, and that's why they're going broke...
